Sadly, there are a few girls held captive by traffickers and cannot imagine what it takes to escape.
However, Katesa "Tess" Baptiste's character, I was under the impression at first that this character was a filler until the reader gets near the end to discover this character ties or somehow connected in the sex trafficking web.
Sunni Taylor was the typical single mother who dates and her teen daughter wants her mother to herself. Grace, being an only child, surprisingly doesn't come into the read until chapter 5. I was anticipating her appearance because of the title itself. The good part about Sunni is she wants the best for her child while she is furthering her education in law/legal education.
Grace Taylor, teen, who later meets a friend that makes her feel invincible; into tattoos, makeup, and dressing a bit revealing to fit in. Should parents impose the same teachings or discipline they had, or their parents did to them? Lenient? Or stricter? I did like how the author Barbra Porter-Coleman established how most mother's would respond to their teen daughters, and vice versa.
I did wonder about Daddy Rich's suspicions on Conrad "hawk" Hawkins while dating his grandchild, Tess, and were those feelings legit or overly protective. As you read on, you'll get the answers you were looking for.
I really liked Omar. His fight, his undercover work, his drive, and his passion to save the one he loved. That's what family is for...hearing Dionne Warwick song "That's what friends are for but in this case, family."
There were passages that I found quite poetic, flowery, and was like a breath of newness (ex: "the moon's halo slowly unfolded layers of light like a new flower blossoming in the spring, page 28, ch. 5). Overall, the story flowed at a decent pace until the end, which seemed to speed through the outcomes, brushed through the series of events/climax, and secrets were shared quite abruptly to me. Surprisingly, there was a happy ending too. I would have possibly liked these events to happen in a sequel to pace itself well, or few more chapters, but overall it was a good read. I can see this novel as a lifetime movie.

She received the next person and location to where she would find the stone. However, she didn’t have directions, and ran into the Ice Horses during her travels. Carling was obedient, and was given guides on her journey.
Carling is a lucky young lady that has a clan of friends who assist in her journeys to help find the stones for her silver breastplate; this book is no different. During the toughest times, they don’t bail out.
This book I enjoyed the middle towards the end, and ready to read book 3 of the series. The best part is the adventure to me is how quickly deception and betrayal can happen; however, if you truly know a person’s character then you know there’s no way possible this person could do a devastating thing.

However, her calling was known before the foundation of the world, later to be revealed once she came of age, and before her very birth which was only foretold to her mother--who would bear a girl child and become the ruler of Crystonia.
Further along her journey, she gives even her worst of enemies mercy, even when it is not deserved. This would be hard to do when someone is out to capture or kill you, but you do not do the same in return.
I commend M.J. Evans for showing a female heroine that was quite unnerving of which showcased bravery in a fantasy-like tale. Overall, the story was light, easy read for YA, and moved at a regular pace. For my tastes, the characters were surface-driven and didn't necessarily have a favorite. The book was lightly entertaining and willing to read the next book in the series.

Therefore, this is my first time reading such a genre "coming of age" for the millennials. However, in my opinion, there is a scene or wording that I am not quite sure is appropriate for this age group, but ultimately it is up to the readers’ digression and author’s choice to place it in the novel.
Since I am not familiar with this genre and its style of writing, I had a difficult time completing this read. There were some areas I felt could have been elaborated on such as the “rape” since I was asking who, why, when, how, and what question(s) while reading the literature, then towards the end was mentioned again that re-triggered who actually violated Mercedes; also I did not fully connect as a reader to the love-experience between the couples.
Poetry was added to the novel, as a form of expression between Mercedes and Bitter. There was one poem that was simple, direct, and to-the-point about relationships that I greatly enjoyed on page 85/86 (ebook version). In my own train of thought, I wondered if the names: Love, Betrayal, and Bitter were all emotions or such emotions playing in Mercedes’ psyche when it came to relationships. Or actual names of the characters, or some names were used as metaphors and/or nicknames to express such emotion in certain scenes of the storyline.
Overall, I can see this novel being dissected, evaluated, and discussed in an Advanced English or Reading course in High School (which I took Advanced English in 11th grade).

The pace moves rather quickly, minimal conflict between the characters, and issues resolved without any substantial verbal altercations or physical contact, which for some readers can seem a bit odd based on the circumstances. Yet the storytelling reminds me of a Disney special where Cami received a prized-possession from her parents while they were on a business vacation. Unfortunately, her parents return flight ended in a plane crash and Cami only had this golden period violin as an inheritance from them. Therefore, Cami cherished this 1713 Strad violin and she remarkably flourished greatly as a skilled or talented violinist that desired to pursue her dream-goal by attending one of the most prestigious schools with great hopes of obtaining a full scholarship to Ken-Khort in New York. She fosters a not-so-healthy relationship with Jackson but there is a Boaz in the making that clearly wants to protect her and sell everything to be with her, and this Boaz is a close-friend and teacher, Jim.
Although I felt the story and romance moved quite abruptly and rapidly, I also noticed the dialogue primarily tells the story and story movement relying on a narrative voice instead of the story flowing naturally by building the scenes/chapters or showing instead of telling through character development.
However, the strengths of the story was the confidence that prevailed the years of violin training and experience Cami developed over time, and boldly believing in her dream and talent regardless of the critics. The love interest was expected, which the story ended on a positive note. I love to see people pursue their dreams and overcoming their fears or obstacles. The main character also was advised to focus on her talent, not her prized-possession—the violin. Her skill didn’t rely on having her possession but believing in herself and that she could play regardless of who the violin belonged to.
The story did leave me with a thought-provoking question: Are there still problems for interracial couples in the South (Mississippi)? I guess I will have to find out in book 2 of the novella series.

I have read/reviewed the author's previous work: The Blood Than Signed my Name. With this title, The Shift, is an "attention-getter." The beginning ofI have read/reviewed the author's previous work: The Blood Than Signed my Name. With this title, The Shift, is an "attention-getter." The beginning of the novel piqued my curiosity. After reading about midway through the novel, I found the secrets and stories explosive, as well as an eye-opener. Moreover, it is liberating to see how the Holy Spirit operates; angels and demons intercede or deceive; and left a hooker for the reader wondering if it will be a spin-off, or part 2 (sequel).
I strongly believe this book had the intent to reach unbelievers to grasp how the Holy Spirit works, salvation still exists, and Jesus in the answer; however, I foresee mature believers reading and enjoying this novel. For normal believers, or ordinary church-goers, will want to be entertained but can truly see how the power of prayer works, redemption still manifests and overshadows the darkness, and truly believe the impossible can be possible with the power of I AM.
Some grip-hooking passages (for my liking): "She was what he wanted but was she what God wanted for him (page 150)?" (Ideally, we have strong desires and/or lustful, fleshly desires to be with a significant other but not necessarily what God desires for us. His best for us, but many settle for less because of the flesh.) "Your sinful beginnings don't have to be your life's story (page 273)." (powerful!) "Don't serve sin, SERVE GOD (page 273)!" (well-needed message on point.)
Ultimately, read the entire book to see what the SHIFT is really about. The answers lie within.

The story pulled the chords of my heart strings, seeing unconditional love being displayed and how Wilson opened his home to a precious young child not to experience any more abuse. But instead getting more than she could imagine and expect whereas a young girl's dreams comes true by receiving everything she asked for.
Wilson seems like a dream come true, who opens his home to those who have been abandoned, abused, homeless, and hopeless; including the right connections (people from social services, police chief, etc.) to do what is righteous among those he can help in need. He genuinely loves people and cares about their welfare. Is this man real? Does a Mr. Wilson walk among us?
It is an easy, quick e-short read that a person can complete in one sitting...do not want to put it down due to the suspenseful adventure taking place before your very eyes while reading. I anticipate more to come in the series as stated on the last page. Let the adventures begin.

While reading this novel, I didn’t want it to end. This is a remarkable e-short that creatively shares the Good News through a Miracle child called UgWhile reading this novel, I didn’t want it to end. This is a remarkable e-short that creatively shares the Good News through a Miracle child called Ugomba. I was inquisitive about the cover and title choice, but once you delve into the read, you will clearly understand the reasoning of the two.
Although I wanted to gather a little more depth of the two characters introduced, I realized that they were only intricate to see how they played a role for Ugomba to come forth into the world. One will truly see how believers say, “…coming from the mouth of the babe”. I was enthralled to see the miracles that were performed by this young boy and his remarkable faith regardless of his losses.
I can also see this as a great children story at bedtime to read to your young ones and allow your pre-teens to read it as a biblical adventure coming to life. I know my 12-year old niece would love this one. Moreover, I hope to see an e-series to continue from this short read. As the story ended, we also have to share the Good News as believers; but see this happen through the young ones as aforementioned in this e-short novel.
The Rising Mist is the final installment of the mist trilogy. With great anticipation to read an advanced copy, I briefly recalled the past reads yearThe Rising Mist is the final installment of the mist trilogy. With great anticipation to read an advanced copy, I briefly recalled the past reads years prior from recollection. The first novel had brief illustrations as if you were in the geographical locations aforementioned and character development was a gradual building process but well-developed. The second novel was phenomenal, well-written, and upbeat pace with a shock factor as getting closer to the cliff-hanger ending. This may be my favorite one in the series. Lastly, the third novel connected to the California wildfire outbreak whereas the reader sees two different viewpoints in the first chapter from the bystander (Carlos) and the rescuers (Nick, Bethany, and unicorns). Therefore the pace had its highs, lows, mediums, and gradual building in the plot(s).
Yet M.J. Evans still delivers a life-changing lesson of salvation; willingness to lay down one’s life to save others. Once again, Evans gives breath-taking geographical and historical sites such as plains, islands, etc. as if you are there sight-seeing.
Moreover, there are a few interpersonal aspects we can learn from, sharing exhortation and encouraging underlining messages. What a glorious and expected ending with such glorious power that occurs with unified kingdoms with a unified purpose that showcased miracles being born, restoration, and healing in the land of Celestria.

She then remarried Redmond, a black surgeon, whoFlorina was previously and secretly married to a Vietnam soldier who died on the battlefield in 1966. She then remarried Redmond, a black surgeon, whom her parents approved of this union. However, it greatly bothered Florina for not telling anyone except her first husband's mother Melinda and unsure to share this previous marriage with her current husband Redmond. She meets an eccentric woman named Agnes once moving to Redmond's grandparents’ home. Shortly later, as the reader, I was able to see secrets between the married couple where they both had previous engagements such as Florina married to Ennis and Redmond dated Agnes. Yet I am waiting to see how the couple will either boldly tell one another about their past or previous relationships openly or keep each other guessing.
The only setback that I had with this novel (and previous work I've read by this author) is the redundancy of an important incident or episode of the character's inward secret kept being stated or re-said throughout the book. However Anjuelle Floyd taps into the inflection of the main character, intricately shares the psychological transitions of the character, and dysfunctional aspects of relationships when facing racism, prejudices, skin color complexities or inferior complexes, and other injustices.
Floyd also gently touched on the importance of education, its values and goals as a surgeon during the Civil Rights movement, and benefits of being the only Black surgeon in a small town of Poinsetta. Moreover, Redmond being a prominent figure in his community and well-educated didn’t have to marry someone of the same or similar status as others would expect like Agnes. Is education the ticket to a better life? The questions that kept being addressed or aforementioned in the novel, I was also waiting for the answer or some closure such as the significance of Redmond’s response to being with Agnes. Yet Agnes defined her meaning of the “love she had for him” and belief of “how he viewed her in reference to love” but was it enough for his wife, Florina.
Moreover, the novel itself took quite some time for me to complete and didn’t pick up for me until about 40% in the eBook version. But when it did, I couldn’t stop reading and desperately wanted questions unanswered to be answered. Although it had it slow pits because of character development and understanding the delicacy of the relationships between the characters, there were some valuable lessons taken from this read such as religious concepts, race during this era, Civil Rights Movement, and establishing relationships between married couples as well as others who play a part in making this union a success. How people married so quickly and loved so easily back then...I love a novel with historical aspects as well as relational bonds that can last a lifetime.
Love this line in the novel: “If only we could let go of each other and allow those whom we love be who they are, and we all become the people God wants u to be.”

Shannon Aimee meets a noble man who’s an earl of northern England during the late 1700s and she is willing to leave her Scotland homeland to be with him, believing that he wants to marry her so soon. Her parents discourage the wedding plans and to leave to go to Gatehaven. However, someone convinced Shannon’s parents that it was alright. Yet they send their lifelong friend, Ian Colquhoun, to keep watch. Ian, on the other hand, is searching passages from the Bible and speaking to a pastor to learn more about the binding of spirits as well as testing the spirits. Ironically, this was the favorite part of the book when the pastor shared about two women that he recommended to test the spirits when they thought they were hearing the voice of the Lord. Amazingly the one that Ian thought out of the two tested the spirits, was not the correct woman and one that you may least expect to change their lives over to Christ, turn a new leaf. Later, Shannon experiences firsthand some creepier things going on in the Gatehaven home, learning about the red gate, and divination as well as speaking to the dead. What EVIL lies inside.
As the synopsis says, “deadly deception” this is what I am waiting to see what it is all about and how the truth comes to light. I enjoy reading Christian historical fiction books with a scope of “what will you do for love!”
The book itself had its highs and lows as far as pace, flow, and interest of the storyline but never a bore. The writing style was different to my normal reads, but loved how it adds a touch of scriptures to backup the findings of what is lurking in the Gatehaven home and other mysteries that come about in the story. Although I became quite fond of Ian Colquhoun, on the other hand, Shannon Aimee stubbornness and ignoring the obvious facts with her touch of naïveté made me want to shake her up a bit. The author did a good job of writing since sometimes I felt the intensity and climax of the story, and other times agitated with certain characters or their uncertainty of specific things that seemed quite obvious.
When the story got closer to the ending, it was remarkable. I didn't want it to end, as the details were carefully being unleashed.

She has a young ten year old son named after her husband: Martin Douglass. Finally things come to a fold when she catches her husband in the adultery act, and moves in with Diana, known as the Sociable witch. But it seems to be rumors of the town since I didn't read anything that indicated she was such (a witch). And also, Mrs. Paula Anne is not so innocent herself.
Oddly I didn't really like this read in the beginning but some parts made me wonder how it will end. It picked up about midway. However, I did like Mama character (Paula Anne's mother). She was relatable to me. Overall, I am glad that things worked out for Paula Anne in the end.

Tremayne Moore clearly shares her story about sexual abuse in the home of her parents caused by her father, and learned she could get out of the household if she got pregnant. Therefore, she did just that and hoped life would be better by moving in with a neighborhood friend, Marvin, whom she's know since third grade. Her life still went down a rocky-road after the birth of her son, Jaden.
I also liked how the Mr. Moore touched on male domination and women subordination, which is actually taught by the leader, the Bishop of that church home where the couple attends. Moreover, Heather was in a roller-coaster of a relationship with a fiancé like Marvin, who always made her feel guilty, condemned for a sin since everything she did was wrong in his eyes.
There were some minor issues in the storytelling that I brought to the author's attention. Yet it didn't distract me and still was able to get the gist of it. I believe Mr. Moore's had good intentions to share what goes on in the mindset of someone being abused overall and executed some of those tales rather well; but Heather tells the story to a women's conference as if she's have a conversation with someone as scenes linger.
Most of all, I loved how he challenges the reader at the end with discussion questions in reference to domestic violence and abuse in general. He also includes valuable resources for domestic abuse/violence. Tremayne Moore is a man who writes about things that needs public attention. He is a man with a voice and hopes to get justice for the unjust. Overall, his voice was heard once again in this piece, and able to see the pieces of Heather Jones from her viewpoint; which can be a voice for many voices that are not heard.

"Something Furry Underfoot" is an eclectic, humorous title which denotes that the book will probably be setup in the same manner. Once I started readi"Something Furry Underfoot" is an eclectic, humorous title which denotes that the book will probably be setup in the same manner. Once I started reading, I found it slightly witty with the usage of metaphors and silly expressive names used in context to share the phenomenon of stray animals having a place to stay in their home. These animals become part of the family, aside from their demanding degrees or careers of the parents (Mark and Amy) with four children already.
Amy L Peterson also clearly expresses tip points throughout the passages. The second tip stuck with me; clearly saying if you take one pet, you will easily take in another animal. So far, I took in a stray who was pregnant with babies of three and only kept one of the babies with the mother (so does this actually count for two? Then this rule would apply; otherwise, I do not plan to take in another). However, nothing like what was stated in the book where there are multiple animals in their household.
Ironically, most of the animals are either exotic or pets that I would not typically want. I don't know how Amy did it, with a husband who kept bringing pets in and not sure if I would have dealt with it this long. Then they try breeding certain pets they've had in their home and realize it is not profitable as expected. I laughed at ferrets being like two year olds, not listening to orders. But the expense illustrated in the book, I see why I never wanted a ferret as a pet. Even to find one can be a difficult task as well as the expense of vet bills.
I agree that it is harder to say good-bye to a pet than hello as aforementioned in one of the tips. I still cry over one of my childhood dogs named Chico.
I would suppose those who are interested in pets, exotic animals, breeding, and a witty furry animal type of book as a pet owner may enjoy this read.

This was dear to me, how the author also shared her experiences with the adoption process in a children book for the world to know. There is an unknown fear, hoping that the worse doesn't happen because of other adoption cases that didn't turn out so well. Jakhayri luckily has his close friend June to share this grand process with, while waiting for the adoption process to be completed.
It is a heart-felt, touchy aspect on adoption but more importantly on DNA from a natural and spiritual perspective. One mother may have given birth to this precious child, yet another one takes him in their home to raise him as their very own. He also learns about the spiritual DNA=adopted as joint heirs with Jesus Christ and how he changes our DNA. Term used that is "Divine Nature & Anointing"! He also received a "new" name like we receive a "new" name in Christ.
Additionally, this is based on the biblical passage: Ephesians 5. Therefore, I would highly recommend this for your children who have special needs, or uniquely made, and Christian parents to read to their children. This is the second book in the God Says series by Ayani Meli.

I also used to be a caregiver for small children, as well as private school teacher for PreK to Kindergarten. So I was glad to receive a copy of the God Says series by Ayani Meli, which is written with a purpose about children with special needs but doesn't limit them or change their identity of who God sees and says them to be!
Jakhayri (Juh-ki-ree) starts his first day at Kindergarten and already prepared to face the harsh remarks by his peers until he meets June, who was noted as "needy" due to her special need that made her seem incapable. But their parents had faith in their abilities to be placed in a regular classroom and not to be labeled as such because of their disabilities. What I loved most about the children's book (memorable moment): is that we cannot do it alone and have to work collectively such as team work to make the plan work!
Most children books have a moral of the story and this book surely has it! It is also packed with godly wisdom that you can clearly see and use in your own life as well. I will have this book on the shelf for my niece and nephew to read or read to them too!
At the end, I found myself singing, "This little light of mines. I'm gonna let it shine!"

The story started in a facility called Haven Of Hope, which was an orphanage for unwanted kids--at least how they pictured it. Roberta was able to take the lettering of the facility, calling it "Have No Hope." Somehow regardless of their differences, a chosen few became like family. But with every good thing, separation happens, and learn to fend for themselves. Eventually Chrissy was placed in a home, leaving Till behind, and years later reunite in their college years.
Can twins really be apart? Beryl left the orphanage to a home without her sister, Cheryl. Although Beryl wrote her sister a letter of her happiness, Cheryl had a bitterness lingering in her heart and decided to end that pain in an unsettling manner.
Chrissy (Chris Collins) after two years of helping launch and making Till magazine become a success as they agreed, it was time for Chris to step out and pursue her dream as well. But had no idea what emotional roller-coaster would resurface to write such a book about the Facility.
Alfred had some things that he had to bury, and quite contrary, we see the transformation he had to make which best suited him. He also shares his story for the book that Chris Collins is writing and hopefully will share with the world. Unbelievably, Till and Alfred, had one thing in common. Even after the speculations, you will see how these two openly share their hidden secret when they were once in the Facility. Alfred, later Cleo, tells it all and sat there with my mouth agape.
Roberta, the one who held the "family" together while in the Facility, had a turn for the worse. Hopefully, she will find resolution.
I would highly recommend this for Young Adult to read, those who experienced separation or parting from families to new families, and even moves into college years (New Adult). Adults can see this as a learning tool, especially since I used to work as a Big Sister (Amachi program), mentor/tutor for disadvantage children, and also as a Youth Development Specialist with at-risk youth.
